Im sorry how does one get away building a freaking unsafe amateur nuclear device IN NYC, I know he is an expert and all (you kinda have to be to develop a static web catalog) but Jesus
last time I went up there, I couldn't carry a travel size tube of toothpaste and this dink is making a bomb in his basement
Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the basic reaction of 99% of the population* when they read this story.

"Mister President, it's the Internet. We fear it's gone rogue. We lost contact with it yesterday, and our attempts to reestablish contact have failed."
I've always thought that using firearms was a fairly inconsiderate way to kill yourself. It leaves a big mess behind for mourning family members.
I think a tank filled with nitrogen gas, a length of steel braided hose, and a DIY mask would probably be the best way to do it. Not terribly expensive, either.

Please tell me this was artistic license on the part of the author, and not the actual words of a researcher on the project.
I know of at least one case locally where a woman was put into a coma by exposure to chemical fragrance. The idiot that did it to her had been warned more than a few times not to do it. One day he comes in wreaking of the stuff like he bathed in it. A few minutes later she was in a coma.
She did eventually come out of it, but the brain damage was significant. A person would have to be a monster to not think that's fucked up. Though admittedly most people with sensitivities aren't that sensitive. But still.
The extent to which I am skeptical of this story is almost hard to quantify.
I'm pretty much expecting a punchline like "yeah, he comes in reeking of old spice, hits her in the head with a hammer, and bam, she's in a coma!"
Other people are wrong with a much higher frequency. And being under duress (e.g. dying of a wasting disease) does a lot to further impair your decision making faculties.
Socialist Europe denying its citizens the right to protect themselves and their property. If those Habbos had been armed this never would have happened.
I like beer. I like drinking beer. I like drinking a variety of beers. I don't like being falling down drunk. This race for higher alcohol content seems pointless and just limits the amount you can enjoy in one sitting.
Screw that. I like to get totally fucking trashed by one extreme beer at the local watering hole, then hop on my skateboard and rail grind the whole way home.
Odd that the bible, including creation, was taught in public education until approx 1948.
And furthermore, don't you find it odd that today the black man is allowed to walk the streets, unfettered, but as few as 200 years ago they could be owned as property?

Snake Plissken and nerdy sidekick played by the skinny, awkward guy from Knocked Up.
Snake: "This is it? This is the connection? Time to cut the cord." *takes out combat knife*
Nerd: "There are 50 million bits running through that line! You cut it and we're both dead!"

"What is it, General?"
"Mister President, it's the Internet. We fear it's gone rogue. We lost contact with it yesterday, and our attempts to reestablish contact have failed."
"You know what to do."
And I'm assuming that this is a purely altruistic move intended to glorify their user base.
I'd much rather have a 486 that I can run anything on, than a Core i7 that I can only run what Intel says I can.
For some reason I don't believe this statement.
Voodoo3 was the one that was 27 inches long and required an external AC power source, right?
Are you guys whoooooshing on purpose?
...pretty obvious even without her filing cabinet blunder. A fire starts, the breaker is tripped, and the phone system is disabled.
Are the managers there really stupid enough to shake their heads and say "well, when it rains it pours I guess"?
And also, how do filing cabinets spontaneously combust?

How many generations of iPhone before it can produce X-Rays?
Blood for the blood god. Data for the data gods.

What a bunch of children. I was running over hookers when I was twelve!
The question is, how good is the performance for, say, intensive numerical computations? Is the gigaflop per watt convenient?
How many quarter-hours would it take to, say, convert all the electronic documents in the Library of Congress to .pdf? That's my question.
Heat, cool, and massage.

Experts are frequently wrong.

Those life forms will be considered crude oil eventually. This just speeds up the classification process.
Noice.
The Army is not in the business of "trying to not look bad". They are in the business of fighting a war.
"Sir, be advised I have a populated orphanage in my targeting reticle."
"Acknowledged Sergeant. Fire when ready. We're here to win the war, not preserve our humanity."

Could you please tell me what do you usually drink? I can't live with just water :(
Tequila. Took a while for my boss to get used to the change, but now even he is contemplating switching out his morning coffee.

I think your giving Congress 2 neuron's too many.
I think your comment's got it all wrong.
